🎅 SANTA! I KNOW HIM!
Please join our fun group of Santas and Santa's helpers on Saturday, December 5th for the jolliest night in all of Vail!
🎄 A FEW RULES TO STAY ON THE NICE LIST:
• 💸 Tip heavy — our favorite bars and restaurants aren’t run by volunteer elves!
• ❤️ Donate any amount you choose to your favorite charity — Santa’s watching, and this is a guaranteed no-coal move!
🎁 RECOMMENDED CHARITIES:
• 🎿 Chris Anthony's Youth Initiative Project
https://www.chrisanthony.com/youth-initiative-project
• 🎀 The Breast Cancer Fundraiser

• ⭐ Special Olympics

• 🐰 Chasing Rabbits — Can't Stop, Won't Stop!
